Is there only one right order?

Yes. The numbers on a board are all different and every rule is one clear order, so each hive has exactly one right tap order. The game checks this for every board it deals.

Under the SKIP rule, every cell whose number is in that times table (for example 3, 6, 9, 12) is a wasp. Leave them alone: touching one costs a bee. The hive is full when all the other cells are sealed.

How long does a game last?

Usually one to three minutes. It ends when all ten hives are full or the third bee flies away.

How to play

Play Combline free online

Combline is a free online number puzzle set inside a beehive. A rule card names a tap order, such as low to high, odds then evens, or skip certain cells, and you press the numbered honeycomb cells in the right order before the nectar runs out. Each wrong tap sends a bee away. It plays in the browser on phone or computer, with no sign-in. Ten hives make a run, and finishing a hive with no mistake earns a perfect banner.

How to play Combline

Each hive is a honeycomb of numbered cells and a rule card on top: LOW TO HIGH, HIGH TO LOW, ODDS THEN EVENS, EVENS THEN ODDS, SQUEEZE (lowest, highest, next lowest, next highest...), GOLD MINT GOLD (take turns between the two colours, lowest first) or SKIP THE x3 CELLS (wasps hide in those cells, do not touch them). Tap the cells in that order; a chip on the card tells you what to hunt for right now.
A wrong cell or an empty nectar clock sends one of your three bees away; with none left the run ends. The cells change places in every hive, and in the last hives the swarm shuffles the cells that are left after every few taps. Fill all ten hives to win.
Faster hives and perfect hives (no mistake) score more. HINT makes the next cell glow: 2 free per game.

Combline tips

Read the rule card fully before tapping, since each rule turns the board into exactly one order.
Look at the chip on the card, which tells you what to hunt for right now.
Take your time on wasp cells in skip rules, because a wasp tap counts as a mistake.
